Originally from Quebec, Canada, Éliane-Catrie Blouin Achim trained in jewellery at the École de Joaillerie de Montréal from 2005 to 2009, after completing studies in visual arts. By 2012, concrete had become central to her practice. Her creations, both raw and refined, have been featured in national and international exhibitions and fairs, from Vancouver to Bucharest, Milan, and Montréal.

In 2020, she launched Nous les animaux, a line that invites reflection on human–animal relationships. Since then, this perspective has been a key inspiration in her work, alongside broader explorations of vulnerability, dissonance, and the traces we leave in the world.

Driven by a vital need to assert her existence, she creates works that reveal the raw, unsettling aspects of human experience—those that scratch, disturb, and linger. Finding harmony in dissonance, she challenges the nobility of materials through bold juxtapositions—whether concrete, bronze, cold enamel, silver, gold, or plastic. Each piece stands as an artefact, bearing witness to human existence in its most striking truth.

In the Rose Cochon series, Éliane-Catrie Blouin Achim creates jewellery that bears witness to collective memory and invites ethical reflection. In her bronze jewellery-sculptures, clusters of pigs and calves merge into indistinct forms, evoking the loss of individuality while preserving traces of their existence.
Pink, traditionally associated with innocence, is repurposed as a subtle provocation, turning softness into a quiet meditation on complicity and responsibility.

Both alluring and unsettling, these works transcend mere adornment to become artefacts that resonate across time. They invite contemplation on our relationships with other beings and the fragile world we inhabit, offering a space to imagine what we might yet become.
Through this series, she challenges viewers to reflect on the boundaries between attraction and discomfort, intimacy and distance, beauty and ethical awareness, demonstrating that jewellery can carry not only aesthetic, but also moral and emotional weight.
